Michelle Obama, Daughters Take ‘The Trip To Bountiful’

NEW YORK — Michelle Obama (pictured middle) and her daughters (pictured) caught Broadway’s “The Trip to Bountiful,” after spending part of the day watching tennis at the U.S. Open.

The First Lady and her girls slipped in to their seats at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre just as the first act was starting Saturday night and received a huge ovation when they took their seats for the second act.

The trio went back stage after the show and met the crew and cast, including Cicely Tyson, Vanessa Williams, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Tyson stars in the Horton Foote revival as a widow who wants to revisit her old home in Bountiful and recapture the vitality and purpose she seemed to lose when she left for the big city decades ago.
